Summary:Something evil is stirring in the small mining town of Gold Lick, and it’s not happy.

Guan-di, the Chinese protector of the dead with a strange affinity for bean curd, has been awakened by reckless teenagers, and now his bloody crusade to wipe out the town’s entire population can only be stopped by one man -- Bruce Campbell, B-move star and deadbeat ex-husband extraordinaire, who’s recruited to be their unwitting savior. Thinking the whole scenario’s a publicity prank, Bruce is distracted from his mission by a hot mom and fan boys aplenty -- but when our hero has to face off against a dark force more fearsome than a Hollywood agent, the laughs and screams start flying!

Bruce Campbell shows a willingness to make fun of himself and his career. The whole movie is a long string of self-parody and cheesiness mixed with bad jokes. Yes, it's stupid and a total B-movie, but for all of it's hammy nature it delivers exactly what any fan could want from BruceBruce Campbell shows a willingness to make fun of himself and his career. The whole movie is a long string of self-parody and cheesiness mixed with bad jokes. Yes, it's stupid and a total B-movie, but for all of it's hammy nature it delivers exactly what any fan could want from Bruce Campbell. That's Bruce Campbell being Bruce Campbell, or at least the popularized view of him.

Campbell doesn't just make fun of himself here. The movie serves as a way to mock B-horror flicks as a whole. It's got the crappy special effects, dorky writing, and goofy monster that could've been pulled from any straight-to-dvd crapfest. What sets it apart is the humor.

It's a very self-aware film. One where Campbell makes knowing references to his career and the genre of movies he's known for as a whole. Among that are a bunch of juvenile gags that do manage to elicit laughs thanks to the man himself.

Overall, this is definitely a movie all about Bruce Campbell. One built from the ground up to please fans and keep them laughing. It does a great job at that. It's low-quality schlock with dumb humor, but that's all it's really trying to be. Bruce Campbell didn't just make a love letter to himself, but one for his fans as well. Those fans are sure to be entertained even if it is far from the most intelligent thing out there. Those unfamiliar with Campbell are likely to be baffled with what is going on.

Have to agree with the critics I'm afraid, and I'm a Bruce Cambell fan. I was so excited when I managed to get in to see it at Cannes, but came out gutted. Its just a string of fart gags and painfully bad acting. With a premise like that you'd have though there would be some Have to agree with the critics I'm afraid, and I'm a Bruce Cambell fan.

With a premise like that you'd have though there would be some clever in-jokes and side-swipes, but nope. There are plenty of references to old Campbell movies which will cause a chuckle or two but there's nothing clever on show here. A real disappointment.…Collapse

Hopeless and inane, on a rare occasion it is funny, but the vast majority of the movie is crude and unfunny. What possesses people to make movies like this escape me.
